Action Alert

Tell your Missouri reps. to reject bible classes in public schools!

February 12, 2019

The Missouri Legislature has introduced a bill that would allow state-funded public schools to indoctrinate students with bible classes and we need your help to stop it.

HB 267 is part of a Christian fundamentalists’ nationwide legislative push — Project Blitz. Project Blitz seeks to inject state legislatures with a whole host of religious bills, imposing the theocratic vision of a powerful few on We The People. It is an unvarnished attack on American secularism and civil liberties — those things we most cherish about our democracy, and now must tirelessly defend.

While politicians claim that these laws are intended to teach the bible in the context of U.S. history, we know their true agenda is to abuse their access to young and impressionable children and indoctrinate them with dogmatic religious orthodoxy. Public school bible classes have been tried across the country and have invariably ended up unconstitutionally promoting religion. Click here to learn more.
